The Evercade Piko cartridges are among the very best in the range, with only the second collection being a letdown (even then, it’s only because it features nothing but sports games, where the other cartridges have incredibly eclectic game selections).

Piko Collection 4 is no different, and features the first 64-bit game on Evercade: Glover.

An N64 platformer, Glover has some odd mechanics, with your little sentient gloves character rolling around on a ball, which operates independently of you, and can be used to attack too. It’s not amazing, but it’s great to be able to play it on the Evercade.

Mermaids of Atlantis is a fairly enjoyable bubble-popping puzzler, Sküljagger is a nice, 16-bit hack and slash platformer and The Fidgetts is a reasonable puzzle platform title, originally for the Game Boy.

Bad Street Brawler and Target: Renegade are two beat ’em ups that haven’t aged well, unfortunately.

Which leaves us with the excellent, 16-bit FPS Zero Tolerance: Underground, the cheekily-named Starfox tribute, Star X and Street Racer, hands down (or gloves down in this case!) my favourite game in the collection, and one of the best for Evercade full stop.

Street Racer is a bit ‘but we have Mario Kart at home’, but with no Mario Kart available on Evercade, it’s a more than acceptable experience. It’s even playable by up to four players simultaneously on the Evercade VS, and has a number of great mini-games, such as kart-based soccer, which are also great fun in multiplayer mode.

Though quite a mixed bag, the games that are good on Piko Collection 4 are really good, so in my opinion it’s a cartridge that’s well worth picking up. Particularly if you have an Evercade VS!

You can buy Piko Interactive 4 from Amazon.
